TO Krissy / Re: This group kicks butt!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I could not agree with you more. I have been around for 2 months and

look forward every night to log in and see how everyone is doing.

Regarding the band, my son wore it for 4 hrs right after we left CT.

I then checked for red marks to ensure they went away after an hr.

And, since they did, I left the band on him all night. His eye was a

bit swollen the next morning (I hear this happens a lot). I called

CT and we went in for an adjustment (we actually left the band on

since the folks at CT wanted to see where the red marks were coming

from).

Just keep an eye on the red marks. Good luck and keep us posted.
